Sam Erpelding’s residency is divided into two phases: the first spans two months in Luxembourg, involving both the University of Luxembourg and Casino Display, followed by two additional months in Taipei at C-Lab’s Taiwan Sound Lab. To the Dead Poplar / To the Old Beech Tree is the exhibition resulting from the first phase of his residency. It reflects various temporalities, including research initiated during his PhD at the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität, interactions with students and researchers at the University of Luxembourg, and time spent at Casino Display. 

The exhibition consists of sound installations emerging from Erpelding's ecoacoustic research into notions such as “natural quiet,” bat social calls, and more. It also reflects on compositional strategies for working with field recordings.
